Rescheduled: Implementation of the Paperwork Segment within the 5010 837 Electronic Transactions

CMS is rescheduling the implementation date of the Paperwork (PWK) segment within the 5010 837 Professional and Institutional electronic transactions to October 1, 2012. The PWK segment provides the ’linkage’ between electronic claims and additional documentation which is needed for claims adjudication. The PWK was originally due to be implemented on April 1, 2012 but was delayed in order to address system concerns.
